So what if men can't control it? Why should that change what women are attracted to? Men judge women for all sorts of things we can't control or can change only through similarly medieval means. |
Why? You're short, a short guy matches. I'm 5'8... Leave the tall men for us long legged ladies please. |
Its also biology that this person just does not mate. Nature is fine with it. |

He is taller than you. What’s your problem?
That said, if you aren’t attracted to him, don’t waste his time. |
|
Men are allowed to not be attracted to ugly women and women are allowed to not be attracted to short men.
Proceed accordingly. |
Would you tell a man he is acting like a petty middle schooler for preferring to date a pretty woman? You’re just a pick me misogynist perpetuating the patriarchy. Grow up. |
This. Move on OP |
| If you had a short son who got rejected for his height, what would you think of that girl who rejected him? Nothing good, I’m sure. |
You may be confusing me with someone else. I am Team “women shouldn’t settle—for the man’s sake.” |
“Pretty” is in the eye of the beholder. What women think men find “pretty” and what men actually find “pretty” are often different. Women tend to equate “attractive” with looking like a Disney princes with petite facial features. Men routinely find women attractive that other women think are plain, and vice versa. |
Everyone knows that there are both universal and cultural standards of beauty for both men and women. Men don’t apologize for seeking sexually attractive women and women shouldn’t either. You know that you don’t prefer a 5’4” man, stop lying. |
Please do share what would you think about the boy who rejected your ugly daughter for being ugly? |

Silly discussion. A person should only date or marry someone to whom they are strongly physically attracted, in addition to being a quality person and the "right fit" on paper.
Attraction is very subjective and personal and nobody should be judged for whom they are or are not attracted to - not by others, nor should somebody judge him or herself. A man who thinks a woman is unattractive and doesn't want to date her should not be judged for that. A Black person who is not attracted to Whites for purposes of dating, or vice versa, is not a racist. A heterosexual person who doesn't want to date a gay is not a homophobe. If you are not attracted to this man for whatever reason, then let him go and keep searching. It is ok! |
I was with you until 5'8". That's still a little on the short side. |

If you're not attracted to him, then you're not attracted to him.
That's sad, I find your quote, that he must be at at least 5'8 a little odd considering at the age of 39 and this would be a first date. Are you still planning to have children? At this age I would think you're looking for a lifetime companion. But of course it's important to be attracted to your lifetime companion height equals attractiveness to you then you have your answer. I ended up marrying a tall man, but that was never my criteria. I dated short and tall men. The man I ended up marrying was smart and funny and made me laugh. That was my criteria. He had to be as smart or smarter than me and funny. It didn't matter what package it came in because if he met that criteria, I found him attractive. |
